The Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly interviewed Rene Francisco as part of their ongoing search for a general manager. Tony LaCava is currently serving the role on an interim basis, while Ross Atkins of the Cleveland Indians has been linked to the job over the past month. Francisco is currently the assistant general manager of MLB and international operations with the Kansas City Royals. We’ll try not to hold that against him..too much.
Speaking on the Jeff Blair show earlier this week, Sportsnet’s Stephen Brunt stated his belief that the Blue Jays search for a general manager was nearing its end, if not already completed.
